Metrologists are in Demand!
Certificate of Completion in Metrology
This challenging and exciting profession typically works behind the scenes in most every industry. From the food we consume, to the medical testing, and the daily use of electricity and fuel, metrologists are the professionals behind the scenes who assure that products and services conform with established regulations and standards.
The Program
California State University Dominguez Hills bachelors certificate in metrology requires 4 fully accredited 3-smester hour classes and a Capstone experience consisting of the ASQ Certified Calibration technician refresher course.
Qualifications
This intensive program requires a functional knowledge of physics and pre-calculus. Prior experience involving calibration procedures, laboratory standards, such as ISO 17025 and ANSL 5.4, and industry specific technical training will be considered.
Entry into this certificate program requires the approval of the program coordinator and instructor.

COURSES
QAS 332 Electrical Metrology (3)
Electrical measurement concepts, circuits and devices; applications to DC and AC measurements. Theory of coupled circuits in magnetic and capacitive environments, and electrical laboratory practices, with analysis, construction, and troubleshooting of circuits.
QAS 340 Measurement Uncertainty (3)
Theoretical versus actual measurements. Probability and statistical concepts to define accuracy, precision, error, uncertainty, and bias. Differences between measurement accuracy and measurement error; random and systematic error; uncertainty interval; tolerance limits; accuracy ratio; relative errors; and propagation of measurement errors.
QAS 347 Dimensional Metrology (3)
Measurement of length, angularity, relative position, flatness, parallelism, concentricity, squareness, and threads. Lasers and optical tooling in large-scale measurements; also gauges, comparators, and measurement machines. Measurement uncertainties pertinent to dimensional metrology; sources of error; the effect of the measurement environment.
QAS 350 Physical Metrology (3)
Theoretical and practical applications of measurement principles as applied to various physical properties. Measurement of pressure, mass, force, torque, temperature, humidity, flow, and rotational motion. Identifying sources of error, techniques to minimize errors and maintaining measurement traceability.
